Annual Appeal 2025: Strengthen and Preserve Irish Culture

The Irish American Heritage Center needs your support! As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited about the improvements planned for our beloved Center.

Thanks to your generosity and the success of the 2023-2024 Annual Appeal, replacing both parking lots is imminent. We are waiting only for the release of promised grant funds to cover the bulk of the project costs. This project will represent one of the biggest capital projects in the last decade.

    2024 Highlights:

  • Exceptional Concerts: from established stars and favorites like Phil Coulter, Kila, and Altan to newer artists such as Emma Langford, Aoife Scott, and The Bow Tides.
  • Touring Theater: We welcomed "Green & Blue" and "A Night in November" to our Mayfair Theatre stage.
  • International Host: We hosted the AICF (Association of Irish and Celtic Festivals) Conference, held for the first time in Chicago. Representatives from festivals and cultural centers throughout North America, the Consulate General of Ireland, Officers of Culture Ireland, and bands who traveled from Ireland to attend enjoyed music showcases and great Chicago hospitality.
  • Why Your Support Matters:

  • Every Contribution Counts: Your donation, regardless of size, helps us move closer to our goal.
  • Cultural Impact: Supporting this project means sustaining the rich cultural programs that make the IAHC a cornerstone of our community.
